Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Property is fairly nice and very aesthetic. Also quite clean! The staff are friendly too! Location is convient, but the entrance is in a shopping area that closes after 9 or so and you have to take a back entrance if you come back late. Bathroom facilities are also not amazing, there are no good places to put your clothes and towel while you shower and there is only one bathroom per gender. Overall quite decent, especially for the price. Would stay again!

This place is probably one of the closest hostels within proximity to Taipei Main Station. That is definitely helpful if you need to be close to the High speed trains, and express line to/from airport. I stayed in a single unit (not shared dorm), and found that it was clean. The shower had good pressure. The bed was a little hard. It was nice to have a window, with a view of the downtown. The person at the front desk is super awesome.

snoring night
The staff are friendly. Pretty usual for a hostel with up to 8 pax in a room. However i had an unpleasant experience with one of the guests snoring as loud as thunder throughout the night. I guess this is a gamble when you choose to live in a hostel , if you are lucky enough you’d get a peaceful sleep for this price , if not.... you don’t get to sleep at all.

Close to subway station
The hotel's located on the 9th floor of a commercial building. Thus the main entrance will be closed after business hours. Enter through the side entrance. Convenient. Close to subway station. Near to Taipei underground shopping street.

괜춘합니다
낡았지만 잘만합니다. 트윈룸이었는데 화장실과 방에 둘 다 창문이 있어 쾌적하게 이용할 수 있었고 화장실에서 냄새가 좀 나긴 했지만 창문이 커서 괜찮았습니다. 공용주방이 깨끗해서 뭐 먹기에 좋았습니다. 좀 낡아서 그렇지 청소 상태는 좋았습니다. 방도 꽤 넓어서 생활하기 좋았어요. 사진은 등록된 것과 거의 비슷합니다. 지하철역에선 조금 멉니다. 버스정류장이 바로 앞이라 버스로 이동하는게 더 편합니다.

ภาพรวมถือว่าดี สะอาดดี แต่ห้องแคบไปหน่อย อยู่ใกล้แหล่งอาหารอร่อย การเดินทางสะดวกมาก ใช้รถเมล์ รถไฟใต้ดินเป็นหลัก The overall is good. The room is clean but too small. This hotel is close to all transportations and easy to get around the city.

シングルルームに泊まりましたが、寝泊まりをするだけなら安くて十分なホテルでした。 注意しなければならない点としては、部屋の鍵に防犯チェーンがないこと、スリッパがないこと、コンディショナーがないことかと思います。 ホテルの人は非常に優しく親切だったため、何か危ないことが起きるとは考えにくいですが、チェーンがないと不安という方は気をつけた方がよいです。また、お風呂とトイレには仕切りがないため、シャワーを浴びると洗面台やトイレの方まで床が濡れる恐れがあります。サンダルなどがあると便利かと思います。コンディショナーは、海外のホテルではないことが多いみたいなので、必要な方は日本から持っていくことをおすすめします。 また、トイレはトイレットペーパーが流せず、ゴミ箱に捨てるタイプだったので、そういった面が気になる方はご注意ください。
